Recensioner i media

"Ambitious" -- Adrian Turpin Financial Times "'The New York of City of Strangers is a lonely, violent place, shadowed by failure and the sins of the past, yet this is no simple neo-noir. There's depth and extension to the world Ian MacKenzie creates for his hero, and brilliant writing on every page. It's hard to believe this is a debut - and that much more exciting" Stewart O'Nan "A novel as grim as it is extraordinary...MacKenzie sets up a New York rampant with alienation and misunderstanding, and his visceral narrative,powered by taut prose and braced with sturdy philosophical and psychological underpinnings, is a winner" Publishers Weekly "Excellent... Relentless... Powerful" Chicago Tribune "A glum gem" -- William Leith Evening Standard
